Leica Elmar 65mm F3.5 Visoflex old lens, with a helicoid ring OTZFO* set. Visoflex lenses can be used with M-series Leicas (including digital) using Visoflex II and III, and are versatile lenses that can even be used with mirrorless cameras and digital SLR cameras due to their long flange back. When converting, you will need a Visoflex conversion adapter, not a Leica M adapter, so please consult with us. Released in 1960. This is one of the lenses released for the Visoflex system, which places a mirror box in front of the mount of the M-series Leica, a rangefinder camera, to forcibly make it an SLR. Since rangefinders are not suitable for telephoto and close-up photography due to their mechanism, such a system was prepared. Among them, the Elmar 65mm is a standard lens capable of close-up photography. The minimum focusing distance using OTZFO is 33cm. (For Leica) Super macro photography is possible. And this lens is known for its very sharp rendering, and it depicts details precisely even in close-up shots. We have prepared sample photos using this lens. In the evening test shots, you can make the most of the sun stars when stopped down, making it worthwhile to shoot. The expression of the sky is particularly good, and it clearly depicts the shades of clouds that are difficult to capture with old lenses, so I think it can also be used as a versatile snap lens. Modern macro lenses tend to make the flaws of the subject stand out, so old macro lenses are especially recommended for those who photograph flowers. Regarding the condition, it looks clear in normal light, but there is slight clouding in the middle element and traces of mold on the front element, but the rendering is good in the test shots, so I think there is no problem. The exterior has no noticeable scratches, only minor scuffs from use. The operation was adjusted smoothly by cleaning and greasing. Condition: Test shots are good! It is a used item with a beautiful exterior. Appearance: No noticeable scratches, only slight scuffs from use. Optics: Slight clouding, traces of mold removal on the front element. Operation: Confirmed with actual shooting on α7. Accessories: Front and rear caps, helicoid ring Stored in a dehumidified storage *The evaluation is subjective.
